Hi everyone, today I have a quick recipe for you. I decided
to do something different with my leftover chicken and make homemade nachos!! These
nachos are very delicious and way better than the nachos you order at
restaurants. It is also super easy to make.
All you need is:
*Left over chicken, I used seasoned chicken breast
*Chopped green onion
* Tortilla chips, I used the Tostitos restaurant style chips
*Salsa, my favorite salsa is the Pace salsa with medium
spiciness
* Shredded or grated cheese, for a healthier option use low fat
cheese
*Sour cream, I used low fat sour cream
Other toppings you can add: jalapenos, guacamole, cooked
beans.
Directions:
In a baking dish layer the chips flat and cover generously
with salsa.
Layer more chips on top and more salsa; you can create as
many layers as you want depending on how many people you are feeding. Layering
will allow every bite to have toppings.
Cut the chicken up, (be sure to remove any bones) and place
the chicken all over the top layer of chips and salsa, sprinkle with green
onion and which ever other toppings you choose, then layer with cheese. I used
some of the sauce/gravy the chicken was cooked in and mixed it into the chopped
chicken before putting it on the chips, this depends on the type of chicken and sauce you have but it made everything much tastier.
Bake until all the cheese is melted but do not over bake.
Remove from the oven and add dollops of sour cream and if you
want guacamole on top.
These nachos are very filling and would be great for dinner, lunch parties, Superbowl parties, birthdays and all types of gatherings. My sister and I like making them for girls night in and pairing it with a bottle of wine.
